Here's a new one on me - the Ford GAA.

WWII era all aluminum flat-plane crank V8!

DOHC (4 shaft driven cams), 32v, dual carbed, 1100cid, dual plug, and dual magneto.

Ford rated it at around 500HP at 2600 rpm and roughly 28000 units were produced, mostly for the (crappy) Sherman Tank. in full military dress it weighed approx 1000lbs; today, many versions have been restored and at around 675 lbs can be made to produce 2000 reliable HP.

As delivered for the military:
